I planted my Crepe Myrtle in June and it was flowering and growing. Since July the blooms have been falling off and it appears to be dying. Is there a way to save my tree? I have another crepe Myrtle to the left of it that seems to be doing the same thing. I live in CA so the weather is warm but the trees get plenty of water

If it is losing a lot of leaves, turning yellow, you may actually be overwatering. Crepe Myrtle don't require a lot of water, and thrive in heat. They can get too dry, as evidenced by some of mine this year in Okla where we are in a horrific drought. It seems a little early for leaf drop for fall unless you live in a higher elevation or far northern California. Crepe Mryrtles are very hardy, difficult to kill, so you may not have to worry.

Langerstromia are deciduous and drops blooms and leaves in the fall.

Unless you see an infestation of bugs on it, it sounds as if its going thru its natural stage and getting ready for fall.
